Settling in for the next 3 hours and 21 minutes to watch Spike Lee's Malcolm X to mark 60 years since Malcolm's assassination. Had Malcolm lived, he could be 99 years old today. This will be my first time watching it in 4K, thanks to the Criterion Collection.

@max_in_somer @ai6yr The math for this gets interesting. Suppose a two-lane road is 25 feet wide and each cyclist needs a 5' x 10' space. So that's 5 cyclists wide (using the whole road) and 5280 / 10 x 5 = 2640 cyclists per mile. If those cyclists are riding 12 mph, that means in one hour you can get 2640 x 12 = 31,680 cyclists down that road. Keep that up for 3 hours (or on a 4-lane road, 1.5 hours), and you can approach 100,000 riders.

@ntnsndr It flashes through very quickly, which I assume is the intended effect. I think it might calm things in a good way if it lingers on (what I assume to be) the book cover image for a bit longer.
